Ecobarter launches environmental awareness campaign to combat climate change

A waste management company, Ecobarter, has launched the “Go Green With Ecobarter” campaign to increase environmental awareness and encourage people to adopt sustainable trash solutions in order to combat the devastating effects of climate change.

The campaign, which was flagged off on Monday, March 20, 2023, and is scheduled to end on November 18, 2023, is planned to mobilise 15,000 households and 30 communities throughout Abuja as well as Lagos and Benue states to take action that reduces the danger of flooding, safe properties, displacements, and loss of life as anticipated by numerous predictions.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ecobarter, Rita Idehai, explained that she and her team flagged off the campaign because they realised that one of the primary factors contributing to Nigeria’s waste sector crisis is a lack of citizens’ knowledge about the aftermath of indiscriminate disposal and their limited access to more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Idehai said the campaign is therefore, a response mechanism to help people living in these areas understand how their daily behaviours contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and introduce them to more sustainable alternative lifestyles that will help address the problem.

According to her, Ecobarter is collaborating closely with the appropriate waste management agencies where the campaign is being run to encourage locals to report obstructed drains to advance the project’s objectives and ensure their fulfillment.
